Days of demonstrations against federal immigration raids in Los Angeles have fueled round-the-clock news coverage and a number of misleading social media posts, including unrelated videos being mislabeled or shared out of context.

President Trump’s assertions that federal troops have saved the city from destruction did not appear to reflect reality.

California is taking the Trump administration to court Thursday over the president’s decision to deploy National Guard troops and Marines to LA in support of immigration enforcement operations.

Trump claims the troops are quelling protests. But California officials fear their real mission is bigger: militarizing mass deportation.

Monday's protests were largely calmer than Sunday's clashes. California officials insist that the 4,000 National Guards troops and 700 active duty Marines en route to L.A. are an unnecessary abuse of power by Trump.

A Department of Homeland Security request for 21,000 National Guard troops to support "expansive interior immigration enforcement operations" includes a call for troops to search for unaccompanied children in some cases.
